Top 10 Craziest Dates on The Bachelor Franchise
The Bachelor franchise has been around for many, many years. Date ideas need to keep flowing though, which leads to some strange and crazy experiences. We’ve compiled the top 10, because we know you want to know.
1. The Naked Bungee Jump
The Bachelorette – Season 15
As if bungee jumping isn’t stressful enough, add in some nudity and a television crew to make it the full experience. Hannah Brown took the plunge on her episode with Garrett Powell when they were in Latvia, just to add more drama to her already drama-filled season.
2. J.J. and Andi’s 50th Wedding Anniversary
The Bachelorette – Season 10
In an attempt to see what growing old together would look like, these two were aged by 50 years and pretended to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in aged costume. I don’t know about you, but that’s not something I’d expect on any date, ever.
3. The Time Kaitlyn Played Dead
The Bachelorette – Season 11
On Kaitlyn’s season of the Bachelorette, the group travelled to Dublin. There they attended a fake wake for her, topped with her pretending to be dead in a casket during the ceremony.

4. What’s Your Natural Scent?
The Bachelor – Season 20
Ben had to smell all of his potential future wives, under the armpit, with a blindfold on. The scientist then tried to determine who his best match was based off his scent preference. Of course everyone has a natural scent, but who thought this was a good idea?
5. Prince Farming
The Bachelor – Season 19
Chris, the self proclaimed “Prince Farming” had a group date, likely of his dreams, where the girls raced tractors. While this is unusual enough, they kicked it up a notch by wearing bikinis and racing them through the streets of LA.
6. Sumo Wrestling for Her Heart
The Bachelorette – Season 11
What better way to choose a mate than to watch them sumo wrestle in a ring with six other men, half naked. I can’t think of one.
7. Three Minutes in Heaven
The Bachelor – Season 17
Sean took Lesley to the Guinness World Records Museum where they were to attempt to beat the record for longest on-screen kiss. They beat it with a whopping three minutes and 15 seconds. Yes, you have to watch the whole thing.

8. Trash the Dress – Before Your Wedding
The Bachelor – Season 19
Chris and the ladies had to make it through a muddy obstacle course. Some watchers almost confused this episode with Survivor. The dramatics of the episode were increased by having the women wear wedding dresses. I hope they were donated by scorned, divorced women, otherwise, what a waste.
9. Boob Art, for Charity
The Bachelor – Season 13
While this event did support charity in the end, it can definitely be stored as one of the most memorable dates in Bachelor history. The women made moulds of their breasts which they then decorated. Imagine having your boobs commemorated and put on display in someone else’s home… #unlikelytohappeninrealife.
10. All Men Lie
The Bachelorette – Season 10
The lie detector test seems fitting when you’re trying to sift through a gaggle of men (I’m joking, guys). The facilitator asked questions regarding the men’s hair color preferences, and whether or not they were good in bed. Andi wound up tearing the answers up, so most people will never know the answers.
